Women and Their Sexual Problems, Oh Well
I had to laugh when I read this report. Sorry, I know this is a serious issue, but duh!
This study says that about 40% of all women suffer some kind of sexual dysfunction, but only 12% of them are upset about it. The numbers reflect that
“The highest prevalence of sexual dysfunction was in older women, but they experienced less associated distress,” Shifren said. “The most distress occurred at mid-life, and the youngest women had the lowest prevalence of problems and of associated distress.”
First, woman do not have the same sexual drive as men do, because males are made to continue procreation till old age and death, whereas womens bodies tell them after they are no longer to bare children to not be concerned about it. However what our bodies make us feel and what we conciously want to be able to feel are sometimes two different things.
Middle age women are most likely the most distressed because of a touch of middle age crises, it’s a sign of getting old and of course that’s distressing. Also middle age and older woman no longer have to take care of little ones who take up all their waking time and drain them of most of their energy so there’s room for little else, now that they have the time I can see where it must be upsetting that they don’t have the drive.
The two main dysfunctions they are citing are the inability to climax and the lack of desire. Most likely to my way of thinking, it’s men that tell women that their lack of desire is a problem. Men don’t understand that sex is not as high a priority for women as it is for them.
